There is no battle between companies and Ether. As far as I know, companies like Amazon are actively working on implementing blockchain in their structure and are mainly using Ethereum for their transactions in crypto world.

We don't have to worry if the big companies trying to compete with ethereum and that won't kill ethereum. As long as there is strong support from the community and the coin can survive in the market, I think that will not happen. But that is possible if the big companies trying to stop ethereum with their innovation in the technology and they have a better network than ethereum.

...what do you think,
can big companies like amazon, google, facebook, or apple kill ethereum?

Possible Reasons:

-much more money
-more business partners
-more employees




it will not be easy for big companies to kill ethereum, it can be compared if in the world crypto ethereum is the master rather than amazon etc. so I think ethereum will stay strong and it won't be easy to kill or replace

If they do, surely they can. Moreover, the companies you mentioned are Amazon, Google and Apple. Facebook itself has information that will make new coins. I agree if they have many partners.

And how would they if I may ask you, those companies that you mentioned are big in their own space, so as Ethereum too is big in his own space, do you know the worth of Ethereum also, the fact they have not declared it does not mean they are not big, so don’t just think that Ethereum not big also.

There is nobody that is going to kill anyone anywhere, we are just the ones that are over exaggerating all these things, the best they can also do is to partner with themselves, and if they don’t want to partner, then fine, they all have their fans, and don’t forget that it is people that will, determine this. No matter how low a project is, it will always have someone that will believe in it and hold on to it for long, tall more of Ethereum that has built a very great community already.

I personally see ethereum as a good project with a solid team, I know ethereum has a lot to offer and that explains why it holds the second largest chunk of the coin market cap. I agree with the fact that there's nothing impossible in the cryptocurrency market, but it would be very difficult for big companies to defeat ethereum. Ethereum in my opinion, is here to stay and is a good coin to hold.

Why does everyone want Ethereum to kill someone? And in general, why such a question arises? I believe that Ethereum is neither connected nor similar to companies such as Google, Facebook and others. We have already seen how the example of the appearance of information about Libra, which from Facebook, the powers that be, immediately took hostility. And do you think these companies will be able to kill Ethereum? Let them first enter the market, and then we'll see.

I believe ethereum has stood the test of time and that is a sign of the solidity of the project. Big companies like Facebook and amazon could set up their own projects and that would increase the competition in the market and I don't think it would be able to defeat ethereum.

I do not think at all that these companies can defeat Ether, Financial experts say Ether will contribute significantly to the adoption of the global digital economy. Sure, many people can not invest in the project, Personally I have already invested in the currency amount for the most.

I completely share your thought on that. Ethereum is also a big company or project on its own. I see a significant struggle by the ethereum developers to keep the project afloat which most definitely will yield. The project only needs time to scale to the expected height.

I think Ethereum cannot be eliminated by any company, because ETH already has strong roots in cryptocurrency, ETH is the platform most widely used by various cryptocurrency from 2015, I think ETH will remain strong, although many companies will become competitors.

If we examine the possibility, indeed all companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, or Apple could have killed ethereum, but we also cannot see from the three reasons you mentioned, because of the large amount of money, and many business partners and employees many, sometimes also have not been able to compete in the crypto market, even though it already meets sufficient requirements to compete in the crypto market, but we also have to see that ethereum is also already large and trusted by everyone and investors in the crypto space, and I am sure that companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, or Apple enter crypto, they will clearly compete with Ethereum.

I do not think big companies like google, amazon, apple or facebook will ever kill ethereum. These companies are of different natures and cannot be compared with ethereum of different nature. But these companies rather support it if they accept Ethereum in payment. Ethereum has made its great impact in the market.

it is completely unrelated to each other and there is no struggle for market share. ETH is a technology enterprise and only develops the blockchain platform.
Amazon, Facebook, Google belong to the commercial and social networks, it is not compatible with blockchain technology. You should distinguish this.

The question kinda lacks many details. We know those are giant compared to ETH but for what reason, they need to kill Ethereum. At best I could think that they adopted Ethereum to use in their service.

Anyone can compete to any coins especially those companies who are capable to fund their new project, if there's a threat to ETH then they should know that so they can think for more advance technology that can still keep them above all altcoins. I think if Facebook or any other companies fund more their project, they can enter in top position easily and if the service or token or coin is good, then we can expect to see a new coin on top.
Aside Facebook, I don’t think that there is any coin that can ever come up with any technology that can be as strong as ETHEREUM, as they say that experience is the best teacher, do you know how many years of experience that ETHEREUM has had in this field, and ever since they have been established, they have been doing their work very well, and know how to close their loop holes.

If you see that Ethereum often comes with an upgrade, they must have also been watching and spying on these projects to see any feature that they intend adding to their platform that might make them more effective, which Ethereum will definitely add as part of its upgrade, so I do not even see the popular Facebook able to play this game more than Ethereum. Ethereum will always be their king so as bitcoin will always be the king of all these coins.

What battle are you talking about? How can they defeat Ethereum? Can they create a new king of altcoins? My answer is no.

No, it will not defeat Ethereum, but it can even popularize it.

Libra has the potential to become the most used cryptocurrency in the world, and this will lead to the massive usage of crypto. Bitcoin exists without any censorship and in this has a significant difference from Libra. I assume that the use of Facebook Libra will lead to the massive adoption of cryptocurrency and thus will encourage new people to use Bitcoin.

I think the most born here are only employees who want to be continuous, the only goal is for business partners, because if the project works is really simple and easy
Did you mean that crypto needs those companies for a good market trade?and you are right. They'll could be a big help of the entire crypto not just of Ethereum alone. If these companies we're using blockchain technology, then they might be the solution we've looking for.

From Ethereum was an ambitious plans to create the world of the computer. But every day the fuse of the company fades. I certainly want to believe that top companies will fight with Ethereum. But most likely this will not have to be done. Since Ethereum will kill itself and it will not need any help.
I believe in Ethereum and so far for me this coin is the most effective in business terms. I pay bills using Ethereum, this is a convenient payment system at least.

wait,, wait
you pay your bills using ethereum ? what kind of bills mate ?
and yes, ethereum is the best cryptocurrencies after bitcoin and with full support from their community for sure even a big company create a cryptocurrency, they will not beat the ethereum as the best altcoins mate. I believe that

When we discuss blockchain technology; it is not a child’s play
How can amazon google fb etc kill etherum without a blockchain

Existing blockchain such as eos xlm and nem and Neo find it difficult to defeat etherum.

Remember Etherum is the only blockchain that permits easy and convenient smart contract creation

All of them had a different market and users, and I don't think these companies can beat or kill  Ethereum, what can kill Ethereum is the community that supports, but people are unanimous in supporting Ethereum just like they do on Bitcoin, as long as people are into Cryptocurrency Ethreum is unlikely to die.

so far what we can see of course cannot, because the popularity of ethereum is more considered, not only ETH, the king of Crypto is Bitcoin, none of them can kill Bitcoin. ETH has an active product, as well as many communities, it might happen and it feels business, but if you want to be killed I think it's impossible.

It's hard nowadays to just simply pumped your coin even you already provided updates but the market still on it's speculation period, the bear season is trying to comes up and with the dominance of bitcoin its harder for investors to put much amount inside alts than putting higher inside bitcoin investment, ETH needs more back up since the possibilities of bigger company to comes up with their own crypto will make it more harder for this coin being pumped high again.

Not only that. Even if you provide updates, it's got to be something the community finds useful in the first place. Even for bitcoin, with segwit, it took forever for services to upgrade and until today you still have some sites refusing to even do it despite the benefits. Bear season has very little to do with update related price in my opinion.

I think ethereum will be on top soon, personally im looking forward to Eth 2.0 that has been announced to go live in january 2020 so if eth network is able to get rid of all its outstanding issues then surely 2020 is going to be huge for eth.
that moment could be bad or nothing happened in the market when the moment of release of ETH 2.0 was hit by negative news by the market. I think the developer must think of the best moment to be able to at the same time pump prices. not just an update.

I think some words are missing, what you mean is if these big companies will create their own token, if they will do that but the platform is not as competitive like what Ethereum has, I don't think it will succeed, in the first place only Facebook has give us the intention that they are going to create their own coin the others are not.

It is difficult to say, because ethereum team has a huge experience in blockchain technologies and in the whole cryptocurrency sphere, while others companies have much less experience in cryptocurrency, but at the expense of a huge amount of money, they can hire excellent specialists and create top altcoin with new technologies, but for now nobody needs that.
It's big companies whatever they can do with their money especially these companies are more popular than Ethereum. But indeed the experience is more reliable and can be trusted to remain the best.

yes they can, although many have used the ERC20 Ethereum platform on various applications or projects that are used by many companies, but in fact it does not pump ETH prices and trust significantly because many are misusing the DApp ERC20 as a way to raise fake project funds.
Large companies that already have public trust and more business partners have the opportunity to develop a ecosystem that is far from ETH Dapp.
if ETH does not improve or control their ecosystem, I am sure that a big companies can kill it.

you say the right thing.
i think nowadays everything depends on market interest.
if Facebook coins or other companies get a lot of funds and also lots of people are interested in buying them, i think it's legitimate they can change the position of ethereum but not to kill ethereum.
because ethereum is still the strongest altcoin.

I don't think so. At this time, Most companies are established in America are very difficult to join the blockchain. Because the government said that cryptocurrency contributed to promoting social evils such as: Money laundering, trafficking weapons, ... They are very difficult to control them.

Therefore, US companies must choose to cooperate with Ethereum or another blockchain network. This cannot kill Ethereum but it also indirectly helps them grow because currently most projects want to develop blockchain all use the Ethereum platform.

Hope this information can help you. Good luck!!

No, these can't kill the cryptocurrency. 
Ethereum is a public blockchain while the  blockchains/blockchain of the big companies will likely be private blockchain.

Public blockchain (real blockchain) have unique features many people need.  Private blockchains do not provide this features..
So, people will always go for the public blockchain when they need the unique features.

We are waiting for upgrade and even if there’s a new company to create coin they can’t beat the top position altcoins easily. Its cheap, but its technology is more than enough compare to any blockchain technology, smart contracts makes ETH ahead so nothing to worry.

Ethereum is a project known only after bitcoin, even the potential of ethereum is greatly appreciated. Evidence is that many companies and partners are involved in supporting the ethereum project. I think ethereum will flourish and become the leading smart contract application platform in the world. So there won't be any big companies that can beat ethereum, maybe ethreum will be the blokchain giant of technology later.

Instead of being competitive and trying to destroy, those companies can use ethereum instead. I know it is not that common for us to have those big companies working with stuff that are not theirs and they tend to just buy out the whole company when they want the technology from someone, yet when it is crypto currency they can't just buy all of ethereum so it looks improbable for us that they would do something like that but that seems like easiest way.

Maybe they will see it as the easiest option and do it as well, google pay using ethereum blockchain? Why not. Amazon using ethereum or any blockchain technology to track their warehouses and products etc? Why not. There are so many ways these companies can use ethereum and blockchain that, instead of rivaling, maybe they will join in with the improvements?

That’s only possible if they are willing to invest billions of money on their project, but I doubt to those companies that you’d mention. We already know the Facebook to launch their own coin, yet the capital is not that high like the marketcap of ETH. More money doens’t mean you can kill a good technology, you have to undergo to a long process.

I think this is not related. Ethereum is a platform with smart contracts that companies can use. While companies like Amazon are companies that are engaged in the real sector. When viewed from the market cap value, ethereum even exceeds the company's value of several companies. So I think, it can't be compared between ethereum and companies in the real sector

first of all , etherium is a crypto and the names that you listed for comparison are companies in the real world  . its not apropriate to compare them to each other   . people can have a seperate investment , they can invest on big companies and they can also invest on cryptos like etherium   . they cant kill etherium because etherium is one of the useful coins on the crypto world so there will always be a demand for eth but they can kill other real world companies   . we can compare eth to other cryptos but eth will still be unkillable just like btc  .

What battle are you talking about? How can they defeat Ethereum? Can they create a new king of altcoins? My answer is no.

yeah there will no battle if all big company created their own cryptocurrency, just like libra
facebook will create libra, but a lot of polemic coming from the US government
and libra born as a stable coin, wich mean the value will always same my friend and for sure libra will not be an ethereum competitors

It's not. there will always be a competition between each other. US still in the process in mediation with libra and regulators are still hearing the reason of facebook created libra coin.
But libra will become the next competitor for all of the stable coin and we will see that a very strict competition between them all but it's not ethereum because libra is not a smartcontract platform dedicated.

What battle are you talking about? How can they defeat Ethereum? Can they create a new king of altcoins? My answer is no.

yeah there will no battle if all big company created their own cryptocurrency, just like libra
facebook will create libra, but a lot of polemic coming from the US government
and libra born as a stable coin, wich mean the value will always same my friend and for sure libra will not be an ethereum competitors

Ethereum and the companies mentioned are not competitors in any way to each other. Though as at present these companies have 5x more value than ethereum itself and had not made known their intentions to come crypto public, they could be partner with some projects as the institutionalizing continues.

Big companies won't kill Ethereum. ETH dies due to the fact that Vitalik Buterin doesn't want to continue to work on his idea. He does not want to create a world computer and refuses to decentralize. If this goes on, we will soon not see Ethereum in the list of cryptocurrencies.

I cannot seems to see any correlation between the two of them, Ethereum is a cryptocurrency and other ones you mentioned are not, and I have not heard that they ventured into cryptocurrency except Facebook, so in what way would the rest kill Ethereum. Even the proposed Facebook coin that may serve as utility tool will still need the support of Bitcoin and Ethereum for anyone to be able to buy the coin.

I think it is stated clearly in their whitepaper that they do not have the same system with bitcoin and Ethereum, and I am not sure it is Ethereum that should be threatened by their existence, but other existing stable coin and weak project in the market in which we all know that Ethereum does not belong to the group of weak coins, even if those other companies decides to join the crypto world, they may end up partnering with Ethereum.

You have a pretty solid point here.
OP can't compare the existence of ethereum vs. the other companies mentioned by him.
They are totally different in nature and their system has different usage.
Eth team I can say, has a solid foundation. They are catering a lot of businesses to make their operations easier.
However, a lot of them are abusing the eth network to gain money for themselves.
Those big companies need eth network within their system to make their operations productive and more economical.

If they do, surely they can. Moreover, the companies you mentioned are Amazon, Google and Apple. Facebook itself has information that will make new coins. I agree if they have many partners.

Why do you question that? Are you one of the culprit? Or do you want to build a new opinion to drop Ethereum?

I think Ethereum will survive well even though it will pop new coins managed by big companies like Facebook or Google.

Ethereum is widespread in every wallet. And it has been well tested that the ethereum platform is safer for storing ERC20 coins.

The ERC20 coin as a supporter of Ethereum is now very much. So my opinion is ethereum remains irreplaceable.

Logically: Bitcoin is the first coin to appear with the blockchain system, after that there are thousands of other coins. Has Bitcoin been defeated by thousands of new coins? certainly not.

Ethereum has gained importance as the leading cryptocurrency next to bitcoin. There is nothing to worry about ethereum getting killed just because of the large companies getting into the payment process. Recently Apple has created its payment service render Apple pay. Those were centralized and ethereum is far beyond the same in terms of innovation. Maybe later years large scale companies will adopt the smart contract platform.

If they know they can actually take it then they might actually do something about it but at the same time why not take advantage of something that already exists if you want to use something in blockchain world instead of going out of your way and spending a ton of money and man hours to build something from zero if you are not going to take advantage of it.

Facebook for example is building libra because even if they do not take a single dime from the transaction fee's the best case they can do is sell your data to someone else according to what you spend the most of it on, if you buy milk then your info will be sent to milk companies, same with everything. That is why if you are going to utilize and make a decent return then yeah go ahead and do it but if not then they will probably not even try.

ethereum will not be easy to beat by any company, ethereum will have a tremendous surprise for its supporters and ethereum can be said to be a very stable coin because it has a very large total supply and many platforms created from ethereum which will make ethereum possible last all this time.

I believe that they can hardly be competitors. The fact is that if even the services listed by you launch their own cryptocurrency, then it will only be used to pay for services and goods within these platforms. As for Etherium, it saboy represents the basis for the creation of both new cryptocurrencies, and new platforms, services and Dapps. Even on the basis of this information, we see different directions and applications. In any case, I believe that Etherium will retain leadership, and maybe even become more successful.

If these companies listed above are going to have their own digital currency, I am sure they will want to have a stable coin like we see the Libra coin trying to develop into. When  they do this, I am sure they are not going to dethrone ethereum overnight, a lot of projects already using the ethereum platform and we have many operations on the ethereum network, ETH might just still still retain its position in CMC.

Of course not. these are completely different businesses but they are all about technology. ethereum is a platform development business, it's not the same industry as Google or Apple.
So no competition takes place here, every business has its own mission.

that's indeed if the big companies have all of resources to create a domination or kill another medium or even small company but this is blockchain when anything becomes decentralized and unpredicted.

no because ethereum will kill itself long before anybody else even bothers wanting to do something about it. a flawed protocol with lots of exploits, a gigantic blockchain that is 10 times bigger than bitcoin's blockchain, lack of scalability and high fees, a huge premine and ICO, lack of immutability ever since they rolled back a lot of transactions, centralization,... and a lot more are just a small number of issues that ethereum has. with its unlimited supply and the dumping that is happening in the long run it is doomed to die anyways. all you have to do is wait Cheesy

They are not in the same domain and can't be compared. Each of thoses companies have their own businesses.
Ethereum won't be killed and will stay in the crypto market. I don't know why you are making this comparison.
If Google and other big companies create their own cryptocurrencies, it doesn't mean that they are going to kill Ethereum.
And they surely will have big problems to resolve like Facebook with Libra coin. Which maybe will have to become a real bank to really be able to start distributing its coin.

if you ask the big company can kill ethereum, I don't think so, because ethereum is also a big company, but in the scope of cryptocurrency, if it's a big company like amazon, facebook, and apple, it goes into the cryptocurrency, I think it takes years to kill ethereum and it needs development seriously because ethereum is the number 2 the biggest coinmarketcap.

Bro, you should have known this. Etherum is like a big company, just like amazon, google, facebook etc.
It's just that, ethereum runs a little bit different then them. So what I'm trying to say here is,
companies have their own field to run and survive. And if Big companies like you said is trying to get into
Ethereum field, then maybe they won't be good enough to compete with ethereum.
Because Ethereum is like a big company in this field. So, it'll be really hard for them to compete with Ethereum

They can't kill ETH, no centralized coin that will lead in the cryptocurrency that was intended for a decentralized system.
Big companies loves to hype therefore they can get more investors but along the way people will realize that this space for centralized coin and it would become better if the decentralize coin will lead.

Big companies can start business in crypto but people will not choose them over legit decentralized coins because this is ours, we are tired of being controlled by centralized company and also the transparency that we are looking is in the decentralized coin.
